MOND is a small boutique hotel on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The concrete structure was designed by the Swiss architects Abraha & Achermann and built by locals.
The visual identity was created as a simple system including logo, typography, colors, local textures and images. Complementary to the visual identity, spaces and objects were designed. The hotel’s shop and rooms were equipped with a specifically designed shelving system made of local rattan. Ceramic clothes hangers can be found in the bathrooms and the inner courtyard was covered with a huge fabric dyed with classic batik techniques and wax-painting. The main entry sign was produced locally from ceramic in collaboration with Jessica Fernando and is directly attached to the exposed concrete walls. The rest of the signage-system was laser-cut out of brushed stainless steel.

Full identity for HAE–specialiced in producing accessoiries for the alpine and urban environment–everything from hats, beanies, facemasks to bags and shirts.
For the launch and its B2B customers we created a image-heavy newspaper to show the products in action and the bridge between alpine and urban environment.
